Hello Oliver,

I have just bought 'LORBY-SI - AXIS AND OHS' from simmarket !
The primary use of this program is now for the new MSFS2020 which I have some problems with !
Just to get one thing straight: yes, I know about the problems with simconnect and MSFS2020 - but I'm not sure if my problems have anything to do with that:

1.) Unfortunately the button 'Disable Simulator controller' does not work for me at all - but according to the manual it should work:

To avoid conflicts with the controller settings in the simulator, the app has features to disable controllers in 
the sim. You can also disable all controllers in the Controls settings of the sim, but that will also disable 
mouse look and other mechanisms

 I always get the error message: 'This feature has not been implemented yet' ! - really?

2.) It is not possible to assign more than one axis per function (e.g. rudder) - in this case nothing works anymore...
Is it not intended to use more than one axis per function (e.g. rudder on the pedals and at the same time on the joystick) ?

Maybe I am doing something wrong 😉

Any help is welcome

The manual is wrong. This cannot work in the current state of MSFS, you have to unhook the controllers in the sim assignment dialog manually.

No, that isn't possible. At least not the way that you intend it. AxisAndOhs uses this duplicate assignment for the gamepads, so the rudder axis can be split onto the two analog triggers. But when you use two entirely different controllers, the app will be in trouble. Why would you do that, what is the use case? Normally you would have only one rudder control per aircraft, either the pedals or the joystick?

Normally this multiple assignment is possible everywhere, no matter if in the simulator itself (p3d, msfs) or with software like fsuipc, simply because I don't always want to use the pedals ! - with 'AXIS AND OHS' this is obviously not possible - this is really a pity and in this case it is not very useful for me 😞 

As the MSFS2020 is still very new, I am very confident that a lot will change in this field 🙂
Thanks for your answer

OK, but why in the same aircraft? I thought that you either have pedal steering or a tiller, but not both? 

That it is possible everywhere may well be, but - I never had that requirement, so the thought of assigning the same axis to different controllers didn't even cross my mind. Looking at MSFS it is (IMHO) much more important to make the XBox controllers work properly, and for that I need that "split axis" functionality. That pretty much rules out all other duplicates.

The way that AxisAndOhs works I am not sure that it is even possible to implement those duplicate assignments with the current logic. I will look into it. Could you please send me an email again? I need more information about this functionality.

But - can't you just assign the second rudder axis in the simulator itself? It is less than ideal, but it should work.

Best regards

That is why there is a big red warning to try the demo version first - so you can make sure that it works as you need it to. There are so many ideas and requirements of the different simmers, that I could never keep up.

yes - it is possible...

Oliver,

Please don't worry about me - all is well 🙂
Like many others I have to get used to the new FS first !

But at this point I want to thank you again for your valuable services with software and ideas for the FS-Community!

regards

Wow, thanks Oliver😃

Now it works perfectly with the assignment of several axes for the same function !

fast and good work as always 😁

That's what I call great customer support

Hello @ll,

while we are all waiting for the MSFS update that hopefully cures the SimConnect issues, work has continued with AxisAndOhs.

As a first step, the DEMO version has been updated to 1.60, for you try if you want. The release to the shops will have to wait until the MSFS update though. Just to be on the safe side, should there be new issues.

The following has changed:

• several minor bugfixes
• it is now possible to assign the same flight control axis to multiple controllers
• more control over the behavior of the rotary encoders of the SaitekPanels
• improved trim wheel action on the Saitek Multi Panel
• AAO now has WebFIPs too (in addition to the Desktop FIPs). So you can access virtual flight instruments using a web browser on any device on your LAN or Wifi. (Still limited to owners of Saitek gear though)

NOTE: contrary to the old manual, it is advisable to start AAO before you start MSFS. On many PCs there are problems (= MSFS crashes) when the app is started while the sim is running. MSFS is very sensitive to events on the USB ports, even if it is just software like AAO generating them..

Best regards

If I install LorbyAxisAndOhs_Install_MSFS.exe, the version for P3Dv5 installs.  I can't seem to find a version that will work for MSFS.

Hello,

I just checked the Demo and the retail MSFS installers, they both work correctly (and install the MSFS version). 

Could you be more specific about what you are seeing?

Best regards

Hello,

I select the installer for MSFS, install as administrator, then look at the recently installed programs in my start menu and the Axis and Ohs for P3Dv5 has been installed.  I cannot find any clue that the version for MSFS has been installed. (My anti-virus is disabled while installing).

Sorry, but I don't really know what to tell you. I have double checked all installers, in fact, new customers are doing that every day. Where did you get that installer file from? The genuine AxisAndOhs.weebly.com website? Any other sources are potentially harmful - no distribution of any kind has been authorized, 

The link to the _MSFS executable should be in your Start Menu under "Lorby-SI". The program itself installs to "C:\Program Files\LorbyAxisAndOhs_MSFS"

I bought the software from SimMarket.  Are they not supposed to be distributing it?

Sorry, I thought that this was about the demo version.

Would you mind sending me an email with your order number - and the version number of the ZIP file that the installer is in? I will also need screenshots of your start menu -. did you check there and in the C:\Program Files directory, as outlined above? The email address is on the last page of the manual.

I am using these installers almost every day during development, and I have not once seen any one of them install the wrong version. Something else must be going on here.

Edit: just a thought: make sure that you pull the installer files out of the ZIP and save them separately - install from there. Do not just doubleclick the ZIP and then the installer inside, that could fail.

Best regards
